*We may or may not attend the 2025 Maryland Private School State Championship. The decision will be made based on a few factors, including how we like the course when we race it at the Bittersweet Invitational. If we do attend, athletes who participate in winter sports are dismissed from the team after the WCAC Championship to rest and begin preparations for those sports, with the exception of distance runners going out for indoor track; all other cross country athletes would continue on to the Private School Championship unless they can demonstrate they have a school or family conflict.
**These postseason meets sponsored by Nike are not school-sanctioned events. Athletes must register themselves for the Nike Cross Southeast Regional if they wish to participate and must then qualify to compete at their National Championship. Nike does not appear to have much guidance regarding how to qualify from the regional meet to the national meet as an individual. (Note: The Footlocker Cross Country Championships are sadly no more, announced August 21, 2025.)
